Retinal Detachment Surgery

​

Retinal detachment is a serious condition that requires urgent surgical treatment.

​

The procedure aims to reposition the retina and secure it back to its normal position.

​

Depending on the condition, different techniques may be used, including laser treatment, gas injection, or vitrectomy.

​

Early intervention significantly increases the success rate and helps preserve vision.

​​

​

What Is Vitrectomy Surgery?

​

Vitrectomy is a specialized surgical procedure used to treat advanced retinal conditions such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and macular disorders.

​

During the procedure, the vitreous gel inside the eye is carefully removed and replaced with a clear solution, gas, or silicone oil.

​

This allows the surgeon to access the retina and repair damaged areas with precision.

​

Recovery After Vitrectomy

​

Recovery time varies depending on the condition and treatment.

 

• Temporary blurred vision may occur

​

Follow-up care is essential to ensure proper healing and the best possible results.
